Behind the net, he checks the slot before reception, then makes perfectly timed passes to the inside. In open ice, he manipulates defenders to open or prolong passing lanes. Some of his best comes after receiving the puck, where he fakes the shot, looks towards the net, and only passes after the defender moves their stick out of his preferred lane. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
